Wow! Thank you

I realize I never followed up on this, and wanted to share in case someone else is having these issues. I was having issues with my old CUCV starting below about 0F without excessive cranking. This was with a block and oil pan heater and Hillbilly wizards upgraded glow plug controller and a...

Ok, I just found this thread seeing if there was anyone else out there with a Ural Motorcycle on this forum, but A. hope you found your drums, and B. can you share photos of your 469!

Hi all, I've had this old trailer for a number of years now and I have strong suspicions that I'm the first owner to do maintenance of any kind since it got surplused out. I want to grease the wheel bearings, among many other little things but the TM indicates you are supposed to replace the...

I have an update! These are infact the correct wheel cylinders. Thanks again everyone for your assistance!

I know this is way after the fact, but is there any chance you know that part # for the napa slave cylinder?

I've done a pretty extensive search on the part number and two of the civilian part numbers, seems like you can get it if you're the government, it still shows up on sites geared toward gov supply, but I need one, not a pallet lol

I work with heavy equipment and I just dont understand why everything isnt set up with those ez lube setups. Massive time saver and not exactly complex...

Thanks Coug, I hate to repair cylinders, but if that's the best option... If you have a trailer, have you repacked the bearings? Tbh, the last axle bearings I packed were on a Ural and a Ford Falcon, and i didn't need to replace seals, so I'm a little sceptical.

Hi all, I've got this fairly clean cargo trailer, 2wm116a3 to be specific. However I've developed a leak in the surge brakes and it's one of the slave cylinders... I probably dont need brakes on the thing for my purposes but I prefer to fix it if it's not too hard to get a new cylinder. Can...

Yep, just offering some thoughts while thinking about my own issues since I have a fair amount of experience wrenching in a cold climate. I suspect my issue related to the pickup sock and possible need of new injectors. Honestly I'd say our winter average is around 0F these days, weathers been...

Hi SSDVC, I'm a little surprised that you didn't have trouble starting your rig at -2F, in my climate, many of the old diesels wont start unless they have their block and oil pan heaters plugged in below about 10F. The new diesels are much better. Below about 20F, if my M1028 isnt plugged in...

Matt S, sounds like you are having the same issue I am having, sounds very familiar. If you haven't already, you should read back through this thread, there were some good suggestions. After I finish my current project locking up space in the garage, I'm going to park the CUCV inside and try...

As Matt5 pointed out, parts availability and turn around is pretty abysmal up here, so a little diag, even if crude is going to be the route I go before I go lobbing parts into the truck. That all being said, yall need to calm your tatas, everyone is allowed an opinion. I've just gotten tired...

Thanks all for the input. I think I'll start with trying to identify if the stalk is the issue or not. I suspect that the motor unit may be failing slowly either way, but I want to know if I should also order a stalk while I'm at it. I think I'll stick with a stock unit but all the info on...
